Combining an American-made upper receiver and barrel with original surplus CETME parts kits, Century Arms is able to deliver a high-quality G3 Rifle at an almost unheard-of price! PTR Industries makes the trigger housing, trigger group, upper receiver and barrel. Surplus parts kits supply the rest…meaning you get consistent quality and top value.

Even better, this version features an M-1913 Picatinny rail welded to the top of the receiver — a major upgrade over the original versions. It'll take any cheap surplus G3 mag you can throw at it, and it goes boom with almost any ammo. It's the ultimate budget battle rifle, but because they used CETME surplus, supplies are strictly limited. So if you want it, don't wait!

Built from a combination of CETME surplus parts and quality components from PTR Industries

Rated 5 out of 5 by DWag from GREAT WAPONI purchased one from a different source a couple of years ago and havn't had any issues other than the 5 round mag.This machine needs a good "barrel break in" and then rock it some.That's how they like to be run.My shooting buddy tells me he wished his AR-15 would rock the 12" gong @100>200 yds. with this kind of authority.lmbo

Rated 4 out of 5 by Dave at Marley Mill from Fine German/Spanish Military RifleI wanted a AR in a major caliber, (308) or an M1 but they're both pretty expen$ive. I bought this military, recoil operated 308 for less than $800 TTL. I purchased 18 magazines for $40, their condition was from new to good used. I fried 100 rounds on the first trip out and had 3 failures to feed with 2 different Mags, this BTW is acceptable for a rifle that is not broke in. It's plenty accurate, putting 83 rounds in a 6" circle with the open sights. I've purchased a 1 X 4 X 28 scope and I'm betting it would be accurate enough for hunting. Great weapon for the money and easy on the shoulder, after 100 rounds, my shoulder wasn't sore. You can beet that if I'd put 100 rounds through my Browning Auto-5 my shoulder would be black and blue, of course it was made when men were men and doesn't have a recoil pad, just a hard butt plate. I absolutely love this rifle. It's also real easy to disassemble.

Rated 2 out of 5 by RobC from 2nd update on DUDFirst of all I don't want to tilt the ratings of this firearm because I have reviewed this rifle three times. However, since I received a replacement of the first rifle, I think that I am within my rights to do so. I really wanted this rifle to work for me because I have wanted a 308 battle rifle for some time. I first considered buying a PTR, but since this is basically the same rifle, I settled on this one because of price and the fact that it had the pic rail which were both very attractive incentives. The first rifle jammed every other round, and every 4th or 5th round I would have to break it down just to release the bolt from a stuck rearward position which the bolt captured the round and would not release it otherwise. So I sent the rifle back to Century who confirmed the rifle was defective, and after about a 2 month wait, they sent me a new replacement. Being the skeptic I am, I checked the serial numbers to make sure they didn't send me the same one back. Guess what? Still jams every other round, but knowing about the 200 round break-in period I just endured. I was a bit skeptical about the new rifle because after reading all of the reviews, it seems that no one else had such problems. So I soldiered on to reach the 200 round break in. After putting 235 rounds through it (and believe me I counted every one) I had had enough. I sent Century an e-mail explaining the dilemma, and that I just wanted to send the rifle back and be refunded the $675 that I had spent. Expecting to have a difficult time getting a refund, I was surprised when I received a next day e-mail response with an apology for my difficulties, a return authorization number, and a PDF to print a FedEx return label. I'm really not happy with the quality of the firearm, but I am very appreciative of the service that I received from Century. And what can I say? I've made several purchases from SG, and I am very happy with the overall service they provide. We all want to feel confident that we get the value that we expect from the hard earned money that we spend. Though I don't think I will buy another Century Arms product, I am very happy with the service I get from SG, and this should not reflect poorly on the great service and value that they provide. I rated this purchase 2 stars only because of my satisfaction with the prompt service Century provided in lieu of my refund of which I am still waiting. You already know SG is a 5 star operation. Thanks SG. You are my go to. Hope this is helpful, and everyone has a pleasant shopping experience.

Rated 4 out of 5 by SERVOK from Good on their WarrantyWhen I first received this rifle it wouldn't fire. Returned for repairs. It is very accurate up to 50 yards ( I don't have a further range to shoot). Had to return a 2nd time for repair to rear sight. Repaired & returned in 3 weeks. Rifle is still accurate and I'm happy. BTW, if you take it to indoor GR, it sounds like a cannon.

Rated 4 out of 5 by AlinMiss from Decent price, good merchandiseGood accurate rifle. Factory welded sights were close enough to use for 200 meter shooting. I do not have the special adjustment tool for adjusting the windage for longer shots. Mounting a scope (even with high mounts) is hard (due to the rear sight), but, once I had one mounted, it set close enough that I was getting half dollar sized groups at 100 meters and would not hesitate to use this rifle for 600 meter shooting. Recoil is lighter than I expected and magazines were easy to find. This will be my "rain and mud" light to medium game rifle. I like it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Staino from Best Bang for your Buck!If your in the market for a nice tactical .308 rifle, this is it! I had my reservations after watching videos of functional and other issues. Very important! Once you get it tear it apart and cleaned and lubricated the entire components, I used Seal1 and made it a wet gun. Flawlessly fired over 100 rounds with the two 20 round magazines. Never tried the 5 round mag have no need for it. Also the handguard and G3 slide stock make a must have addition. Definitely worth the investment!

Rated 5 out of 5 by ltcret from Great under rated 308 butt kickerI owned two of these 15 years ago when they were under $300.00. I never had a FTF shooting South African surplus ammo. The ammo was NATO but made in the 70's. I was telling someone at work about them and he had both for $1,600.00.. Though I could shoot any ammo, others have said they can get finicky depending on ammo.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ihntnfsh from Fantastic Price for a .306 Semi-AutoI purchased the rifle after deciding I need a .30 caliber semi-auto rifle. I read the two reviews and decided to buy the rifle. I read the paperwork that came with it and went out to shoot it knowing I wasn't going to follow the instructions. I fired 23 rounds before I had a failue to feed. After the first failue to feed there was three more one after another. Altogether I shot 33 times before I had a jam I couldn't fix in the field. Once at home I cleared the jam and took the rifle apart. It's definately a military rifle. The rifle was cleaned thourghly oiled and greased. I went out again and fired 100 rounds with no problems. Half was as fast as I could pull the trigger. The iron sights were dead on. The only problem was the 5 round magazine, it wouldn't hold a round. My jam was caused by cheap ammo, most probably my fault. All and all a fine rifle.
